THOUSANDS of anti-government protesters have begun a march on the Pakistani capital Islamabad amid fears that a prolonged confrontation might lead to a military coup a year after the country's first democratic transfer of power, officials say.

FORMER cricketing star Imran Khan was leading the protest to topple the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for failing to probe alleged fraud in last year's elections.
